Love the manatee looking so Jabba the Hut but wise and gentle at the same time. Love the little girl... not afraid, perhaps seeing the gentleness in the monster's eyes.The gentle giant and the little princess... awwww....Love it all.

Some of the best photographs capture the precise moment, and that's better than my saying something like "I didn't know until I studied your seahorse and watch photo that these amazing creatures can tell time!" Actually, they tell real time better than humans can."

As a retired MD and former biologist I looked with sympathy at the honeybee's first (and last) sting. The bee dies afterward, leaving its entrails, as pictured. Unlke wasps, etc.,honeybees can sting only once.An amzingly clear, accurate photo, made possible by the man accepting the sting.

Photo #4: I hate it! I grew up with a Grampa who reared bees, and we profited in the poor years after WW2 from having them. So I care for bees, them being one of the most important animals for our survival in pollinating plants: No bees, no fruit, no grains, no vegetables, no nothing for us human beings to survive.For this reason I hate photo #4: one of the most useful animals for mankind being photographed in the act, where it is killed. What kind of barbarian finds this an exciting photo?Goetz R. Schaude, Rastatt, Germany

amazing photos. I sympathize with you about the bee but to have captured it's passing, know that it will live on forever on the internet. Love the edge of the world and want to repel that wall. Where is that location?

Picture #27 is a Japanese bus in Toyama, Kurobe Damu, written on the bus locator. Whoever said it is relevant to Mexico (written in Latin), Chinese (written in full Kanji) 戸山、黒部ダム。Japan, heavily underrated country, the best country in the world.People are so gullible these days, have eyes, see nothing.

Diari, I wondered about the same thing, so I did some research before reposting the "yarn-bombed" bus photo. This is what I created for the caption of my re-post:

Many folks notice the Japanese ideographic characters on this bus & thus look askance @ the Mexico City location. The bus, which relatively reliable information purports now sits parked at the northwest corner of the Plaza Luis Cabrera at Colonia Roma, is one of 14 1960s Mitsubishi buses that were originally donated to Mexico in 2000 by the Japanese government, with the idea that they would be used in creating educational centers. They sat abandoned until 2005, when the “Galería Trolebús” (Trolleybus Gallery) was begun to promote non-traditional art projects. The gallery ceased operations in 2009 due to financial problems, but three of the buses are still used for art projects. The one depicted here was "yarn bombed" in 2008 by the Austin, Texas group "Knitta Please", who reportedly used a ton of yarn; the picture is credited to Knitta Please founder Magda Sayeg.

An investigation of the Wikipedia source referenced in the below-linked article (ref. # 1) does appear reliable, as does the source of the "Knitta Please" information linked secondly.
